Meh.
Any number of young bands out there doing better stuff....
But of course because this bands singers dad is Bono then they'll get ears that all those other bands would never get.
I admit that this song isn't as good as My Honest Face (I really love that one). But, I think they'd do pretty well even if some famous dude wasn't related to one of them.
We both know you'd have never even have heard of them let alone clicked on a video of them if it wasn't for who the singers dad is.
And that is OK, it is what it is.
That will carry them so far as same will apply with a fair few u2 fans i'd imagine.
True that I would never have heard of them if not for the Bono connection. Never said otherwise. But I still like them a lot. And I still think they'd do okay without the family name.
Without the family name they'd face the same problems other young acts face and that is reaching people.
The very fact we are having this conversation is proof of that....we simply would not be having this conversation without the family name.
The family name gives them a headstart - regardless of the merits of their work...they'd be nowhere right now without it - just another indie pop band in a sea of them, struggling to get noticed....as we have agreed you for example would never have heard of them.
Good luck to them, all i will say is this - as someone who listens to quite a lot of new young bands there is IMO nothing special about this band...well except the family connection.
If you are a fan of this sort of stuff though there is a bomb load of it out there i can hook you up with....
